But ESPN are suggesting that Toure, who played for Monaco before joining Spanish side Barcelona, would be open to a move back to France before his career ends.

"Everything's possible. Why not? In life, you never know," Toure said. "Everything's going well at City for the moment, but you never know. When you have big teams like that, where there are big players, of course it's attractive.

"To be part of an adventure like that is exceptional. To work with great players is always my objective. It allows you to learn many things. In football, you never stop learning. For me, PSG are a big club."

But fans will take heart from the straight talking Toure insisting he is going nowhere soon.

He added: "It's true that at Barcelona, I played with great players and won quite a few trophies. But here, I have more responsibility. And I manage to cope with that. The Premier League is the league in which I feel best. There's rhythm, intensity. There's everything I want."

The Manchester Evening News believe Pellegrini is still in the market for a defender to allow Joleon Lescott to leave for West Ham.
